Hey everyone, Michelle Obama here.

IMO is doing a special series on my upcoming book, The Look, which is available for pre-sale now.

In this series, we'll explore the politics and cultural impact behind fashion, beauty, hair, and style throughout my life.

Each episode, I'll be talking to trusted voices in the beauty and fashion world

and collaborators I've worked closely with. Together, we'll be sharing never-before-heard stories

behind some of my most newsworthy fashion moments. I hope you'll all give it a listen.

Please enjoy one of our favorite episodes from the Dressed Archive of over 500 plus shows.

There are 7 billion people in the world. We all have one thing in common. Every day, we all get dressed.

Welcome to Dressed, the history of fashion, a podcast where we explore the

who, what, when of why we wear. We are fashion historians and your hosts, April Callahan,

and Cassidy Zachary. April, today we get to talk about the great American fashion designer Charles

James. Not to be confused with James Charles, by the way. If you Google it,

you'll know what I'm talking about. But before we talk about Charles James, we do want to mention

a very lovely listener message that we received actually a while back from Charlotte who wrote to us

to say, I am a high school student and I took the SAT two weeks ago. Oh, I hope it went well.

I know. I just thought you guys would want to know that one of the passages in the grammar section was

called costume curation and it was about how technology is used in fashion exhibitions. I talked a lot

about Charles James's Clover Leaf Dress. I just thought it was awesome that there was a bit of fashion history on the SAT.

We do too. That is so cool.

Yeah. I mean, just to think about how much our field has expanded that it's actually on the SAT tests.

And Charlotte went on to say, quote, it was also cool because the test passage mentioned FIT and Valerie Steele.

And I got really excited because I recognized her name from your podcast.
